It is quitereasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modernlife, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that thenicest man would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to havea tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense. It takes the most cool-hearted drivers great patience to giveup the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility ofquarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave, or thanks in answer to anact of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessaryin modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no meansenough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness whenthey see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also bedangerous. Typical example is the driver who waves to a child crossing thestreet at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able tostop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the roadwherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners arefaultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in trafficstream without causing total jams that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(駕車技能).Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership woulddemand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time that all of ustook this message to heart.

Parents who help theirchildren with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Otherforms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school andobserving a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recentstudy on the topic. The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(養(yǎng)育子女) where schools except themto act as partners in their children's education. Previous generationsconcentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready tolearn.
Keith Robinson, theauthor of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready forthis but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' educationthat leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things thatwas consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinsonsuggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand thetasks." They may either not remember the material their kids are studyingnow, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offeringadvice."
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and foundone of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their childrenfor poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive,about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to getinvolved because "children with good academic success do have involvedparents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not proveparental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprisewas that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardlyinvolved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children howsuccess at school could improve their lives."
The underlined expression "parental involvement" in Paragraph 1 probably means ____.
A. parents' expectation on children's health
B. parents' participation in children's education
C. parents' control over children's life
D. parents' plan for children's future

Dear Chris,
I have good news to tell you. A famous Shaoxing Opera, Butterfly Lovers, will be put on in Tianjin Grand Theatre at 2:00 p.m. on August 5. I know you take a great fancy to Chinese culture, especially Chinese opera culture. I hope this opportunity will not only make you happy, but also satisfy your interest in Chinese opera. I think it’s a good chance for you to learn more about it. What’s more, if you can come, I suggest that we have a look at the nearby museums or art galleries. I strongly believe that you can know more about Chinese operas there, which can increase your knowledge about Chinese traditional operas.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
